while i welcome a majority of the new laws to be implemented this year i dont quite understand the required teaching of gaylesbian contributions starting students in california must receive mandatory lessons in history classes about gays and lesbians and a ban will be enforced on teaching materials that reflect poorly on gays while i understand the teaching of cultural advancement i dont get how californias government can justify the need for this what we want is for gays lesbians and straight people to live together in harmony how does separating their accomplishments do anything good at all is there a straight peoples accomplishments section in history books or is that not required
